6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The safety of OGSIVEO was evaluated in 69 patients enrolled in DeFi with progressing desmoid tumor <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Clinical Studies ( 14 ) ]</span>. Patients received OGSIVEO 150 mg orally twice daily or placebo orally twice daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The median duration of exposure to OGSIVEO was 20.6 months (range: 0.3 to 33.6). Serious adverse reactions occurred in 20% of patients who received OGSIVEO. Serious adverse reactions occurring in ≥ 2% of patients were ovarian toxicity (4%). Permanent discontinuation of OGSIVEO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 20% of patients. Adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation of OGSIVEO in ≥ 2% of patients were diarrhea, ovarian toxicity, increased ALT, and increased AST. Dosage interruptions of OGSIVEO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 51% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption in ≥ 2% of patients included diarrhea, rash, stomatitis, hypophosphatemia, fatigue, folliculitis, nausea, and ovarian toxicity. Dose reductions of OGSIVEO due to an adverse reaction occurred in 42% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dose reductions in ≥ 2% of patients included diarrhea, rash, stomatitis, hypophosphatemia, folliculitis, hidradenitis, and ovarian toxicity. The most common (≥ 15% with a difference between arms of ≥ 5% compared to placebo) adverse reactions that occurred in patients receiving OGSIVEO were diarrhea, ovarian toxicity, rash, nausea, fatigue, stomatitis, headache, abdominal pain, cough, alopecia, upper respiratory tract infection and dyspnea.

Warnings

AND PRECAUTIONS Diarrhea: Severe diarrhea can occur. Monitor and dose modify for Grade 3-4 diarrhea. ( 5.1 )

Ovarian

Toxicity: Female reproductive function and fertility may be impaired. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk prior to treatment and monitor routinely. ( 5.2 ) Hepatotoxicity: Elevated AST and ALT can occur. Monitor AST and ALT regularly and modify dose as recommended. ( 5.3 ) Non-Melanoma Skin Cancers: Perform dermatologic examination prior to initiation of OGSIVEO and routinely during treatment. ( 5.4 )

Electrolyte

Abnormalities: Monitor phosphate and potassium regularly and modify dose as recommended. ( 5.5 ) Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: Can cause fetal harm. Advise patients of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus and to use effective contraception. ( 5.6 , 8.1 , 8.3 )

5.1 Diarrhea Diarrhea, sometimes severe, can occur in patients treated with OGSIVEO <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 ) ]</span> . In DeFi, diarrhea occurred in 84% of patients treated with OGSIVEO, and included Grade 3 events in 16% of patients. Median time to first diarrhea event for patients treated with OGSIVEO was 9 days (range: 2 to 434 days). Monitor patients and manage using antidiarrheal medications. Modify dose as recommended [ see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 ) ]. 5. 2 Ovarian Toxicity Female reproductive function and fertility may be impaired in patients being treated with OGSIVEO. Impact on fertility may depend on factors including the duration of therapy and the state of gonadal function at the time of treatment. The long-term effects of OGSIVEO on fertility have not been established. Advise patients on the potential risks for ovarian toxicity before initiating treatment with OGSIVEO [ see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.3 ) ]. Monitor patients for changes in menstrual cycle regularity or the development of symptoms of estrogen deficiency, including hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. 5. 3 Hepatotoxicity ALT or AST elevations occurred in 30% and 33% of patients who received OGSIVEO in DeFi, respectively.

Grade

3 ALT or AST elevations (> 5 × ULN) occurred in 6% and 2.9% of patients, respectively [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 ) ] . Monitor liver function tests regularly and modify dose as recommended [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 ) ] . 5. 4 Non-Melanoma Skin Cancers New non-melanoma skin cancers can occur in patients treated with OGSIVEO. In DeFi, cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma occurred in 2.9% and 1.4% of patients, respectively [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 ) ]. Perform dermatologic evaluations prior to initiation of OGSIVEO and routinely during treatment. 5. 5 Electrolyte Abnormalities Electrolyte abnormalities can occur in patients treated with OGSIVEO. In DeFi, these included decreased phosphate (65%) and decreased potassium (22%). Phosphate <2 mg/dL occurred in 20% of patients who received OGSIVEO.

Grade

3 decreased potassium occurred in 1.4% of patients [ see A dverse Reactions ( 6.1 ) ] . Monitor phosphate and potassium levels regularly and supplement as necessary. Modify dose as recommended [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.2 ) ]. 5. 6 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity Based on findings from animal studies and its mechanism of action, OGSIVEO can cause fetal harm when administered to pregnant women. Oral administration of nirogacestat to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in embryo-fetal toxicity and death at maternal exposures below the human exposure at the recommended dose of 150 mg twice daily. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females and males of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with OGSIVEO and for 1 week after the last dose [ see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 , 8.3 ) ].

Drug Interactions

INTERACTIONS Strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors: Avoid concomitant use. ( 7.1 ) Strong or moderate CYP3A inducers: Avoid concomitant use. ( 7.1 ) Gastric acid reducing agents: Avoid concomitant use with proton pump inhibitors and H2-receptor antagonists. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, OGSIVEO administration can be staggered with antacids. ( 7.1 )

7.1 Effect s of Other Drugs on OGSIVEO Table 4. Effects of Other Drugs on OGSIVEO Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors Clinical Effect Nirogacestat is a CYP3A substrate. Strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors increase nirogacestat exposure [ see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may increase the risk of OGSIVEO adverse reactions. Prevention or Management Avoid concomitant use of OGSIVEO with strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors including grapefruit products, Seville oranges, and starfruit. Strong or Moderate CYP3A Inducers Clinical Effect Nirogacestat is a CYP3A substrate. Strong or moderate CYP3A inducers decrease serum nirogacestat exposure [ see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may reduce the effectiveness of OGSIVEO. Prevention or Management Avoid concomitant use of OGSIVEO with strong or moderate CYP3A inducers.

Gastric Acid Reducing Agents Clinical

Effect Nirogacestat is poorly soluble at pH ≥ 6. Gastric acid reducing agents may decrease serum nirogacestat exposure [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )], which may reduce the effectiveness of OGSIVEO. Prevention or Management Avoid concomitant use with proton pump inhibitors and H2 blockers. If concomitant use cannot be avoided, OGSIVEO can be staggered with antacids (e.g., administer OGSIVEO 2 hours before or 2 hours after antacid use).

7.2 Effects of OGSIVEO on Other Drugs Table 5. Effects of OGSIVEO on Other Drugs Certain CYP3ASubstrates Clinical Effect Nirogacestat increases exposure of CYP3A substrates [ see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates. Prevention or Management Avoid concomitant use with CYP3A substrates where minimal concentration changes may lead to serious adverse reactions. Certain CYP2C19 Substrates Clinical Effect Nirogacestat decreases exposure of CYP2C19 substrates <span class="opacity-50 text-xs">[see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )]</span>, which may decrease efficacy of these substrates. Prevention or Management Avoid concomitant use with OGSIVEO where decreased concentrations of CYP2C19 substrates may lead to significant decreases in efficacy of the CYP2C19 substrate unless otherwise recommended in the Prescribing Information for the CYP2C19 substrate.
